Malacca group releases animals!
It’s universally known that what goes around comes around. In Buddhism, it is believed that whenever we perform one action, according to the law of karma, it creates the causes for another event to occur. In Kechara we organise a monthly animal liberation event. By releasing live animals that are bred for the sole purpose to be slaughtered, that good deed will inspire others to release more live animals and create the awareness that a life…any life…is worth sparing and worth caring for.
What Kechara House (KH) has done so far has inspired our study groups to do the same!! Last week the Malacca study group organised their first animal liberation in Bukit Serindit Park.
Before they went, they contacted Kechara Care’s Nicholas Yu for the prayers done by KH. The group recited the Shantideva’s prayer, the Medicine Buddha mantra and the guru mantra after which they blew the prayers onto the animals to bless their mind streams. The 35 participants released fish, birds, crickets, frogs, lobsters and worms all saved from the slaughterhouse!
With great joy and a pure motivation for the animals to gain a good rebirth, the event ended with dedication prayers for the merits accumulated to benefit all beings. With everyone’s encouraging support, the group hope to make this this meaningful event a monthly occurrence. It is definitely joyous news to know that awareness for liberating animals has spread to other states in Malaysia. May there be more events like this, so more people will experience and commit to the joy of freeing other beings from suffering!
I hope our Malacca branch continue to do this on a regular basis. It is a wonderful event. Creates good awareness and instills right values for children.

2 lobsters won’t be on a plate tomorrow
Volunteers from Malacca all come together to do prayers, blessing the animals before releasing them
It’s nice to see both the elderly and young people volunteering!
Happy volunteers releasing happy crickets!
Crickets scattering around free!
It’s common for frogs to be killed with the flat side of a knife, stunned and have their legs chopped off for a meal – but here they are jumping around happily!

Dear Rinpoche,
I am really glad that the Melaka Study Group is follow the footsteps of Kechara House to start with liberating animals!
I am glad that they are doing it and it good to know that the animals released on that day have been blessed by Buddhas as well as having the freedom to live and roam freely!
It also nice to see both the young and the elderly are having a good time liberating the animals!
Thank you Rinpoche for sharing!
Love
Jutika
The people in the pictures look so happy when the are releasing the animals, especially the picture of the releasing the birds. So happy 🙂 Its nice that people are enjoying freeing animals, i hope that people would come back more often and free more and more animals. And all these animals would have been in pain if this had never happened. And some of these animals would have even been eaten if KH had not done this. I am so thankful that at least these animals got out without having to be eaten.
ever heard of biologocal circle?u guys are ruin it.Imagane an ecosystem with too much frogs which is againts it nature at it’s place.
Our Malacca Group has done their first Animal Liberation in line with what Kechara House Organisation has created that “the awareness of a life….any life….is worth sparing, caring, and saving” in accordance with our dharma practice. Rinpoche hopes that Malacca branch will make this a meaningful regular monthly event like what we are doing at Kechara in order to keep good awareness and instil right values and ethic for our off-springs and others to follow. The practice of dharma goes to the core aspiration of most needs of all beings – any living being for that matter – “The longing to be freed from their varied experiences of suffering.” Everyone dislikes experiencing even the slightest suffering; and we constantly endeavour to remove them and in return to try to bring joy, peace and fulfilment to all beings.
many thanks, this site really made it simpler for me with a writing project for my college class at MSU
Malacca Group you are the second branch of Kechara House to releasing animal now just like what KH has been doing every month.
Malacca group you are the 2nd branch in releasing animals now just like what KH has been doing every month in Kuala Lumpur. For such a young group you already have 35 volunteers and members. Adeline Tan although she is sick has been working very hard with Dr. Lim and his wife to nurture the people in Malacca to join Kechara Organisation. Adeline who has been a long time student of Tsem Rinpoche has shown her support to KH and had never wavered in her devotion to Rinpoche. she has started to organise Animal Liberation in so that the people will be encouraged to go vegetarian and benefit from not killing and committing bad karma.
For such a young
